Face The Truth Color of Human Mindset

Human should face the reality that no matter how good you are, you may not be appreciated or even being condemned. A single mistake can cause you in deep shit. People often got so upset until turned into depression and later on suicidal thoughts because they felt that they are not being appreciated, not being valued and then they start to feel hurt. Well, as long as you are aware that you had done the right thing, just move one. Ignore those people who does not appreciate you. Not worth it to be so upset because of those negative mindset.

老大还是替死鬼

以前在大学的时候, 我认识的朋友都叫我“DAILOU”(老大)。听起来要想很有风度。其实做老大没有什么好。那时候在大学很不同。Assignments和Presentation时候, 老师问什么, 因为我是Group Leader,所谓的老大, 我也会向前回答问题。这个就是读书的时候。 那时候感觉不一样,大家都是同心同意。一起努力做到最好, 拿高分。

到你出来工作和面对真真的世界,什么鬼老大,group leader没有什么好骄傲。发生事都是,先是老大 “死”。最吐血就是,名叫老大,其实Position什么鬼Power都没有。

出来这个世界,如果没有Power, 然后别人爽爽给你的”老大“ 这个名字,记得, 马上拒绝。爽爽叫叫一下,然后,变成当你的责任是老大。什么鬼都是你当,可是什么好都得不到,只得到哪些不好的东西。

有不好的事情发生的时候, 很多人就是。。。。。。 静静。。。 给你一个人去死。。 真的。。 那时候, 你真的可以看到什么是“沉默是金”,沉默让你死而已。

这样是老大还是替死鬼? 到最后”死了“都不懂发生什么事

Vocational Skill : Aim into an Educational Goal

Someone asked me the other day, Is Vocational Skill Important as one of the Aim in Education Goal.. Well... below are my opinion about it...... 


Vocational skill is an important aim into an educational goal to improve the learning curve in related industries in order to produce highly skilled individuals that  improve quality of citizen life. It creates more employment opportunities and reduces the unemployment rate. Malaysia does not need to depend on foreign skilled workers and earning by locals can be better than white collar workers which helps in economic growth as cash flow remains within Malaysia. Those skilled employees are important to maintain the quality of the products in the related industry that could bring good impressions to locals and foreigners. This will also attract more foreign investors to invest in Malaysia due to the good quality. 

Schools need to provide awareness to the students about the importance of vocational skill needed in the job market and how certain inner interests (such as designing, crafting, cooking) that are trained and developed properly could be used for their future employment. This also exposes students directly to their dream job and has better job satisfaction that leads to better productivity, efficiency and motivation in the job. School Counsellors to conduct Vocational Preference Inventory (VPI) on students to understand personalities better and search for the work environment that is similar to it and to target on students’ personalities that is similar to work environments that focus on vocational skills. 

Due to vocational skill needs to have a strong foundation to be built up from young, therefore the basics of the vocational needs to be implemented to students at their early stage of studies before gradually being taught to be more advanced in the skill. In order to educate vocational skills to students to be useful for their future job, applicable frameworks need to be conducted. The needs of the industry and additional factors need to be identified during the implementation of curricular. Surveys and interviews from companies to have the detailed info about the skill expectation from companies need to be collected so that in the future it will be easier for students to look and fit in to the skilled job. 

The curriculum in school can use the Behavioral-Systems-Family Model as part of the pedagogical model. Through mastery learning, the skills can be divided into smaller part for students to adapt and catch up. Then direct instruction to be used, teachers can let students watch videos about how others perform the skills and organize school visits to companies to provide real life experience on how the skills can be implemented in jobs for students to have a better understanding of the future job environment. Teachers needs feedback to the students on their performance by giving rewards for those who can perform such as organize small competitions and give a token of rewards to those who can perform well.  Students who are poorly performance, can punish them such as asking the students to stay or give extra homework to them. Proper continuous practice in their skill needs to be given to students so that they can master the skill and will not demotivate their interest in it.

Work From Home --- Protect Each Another During the COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 Pandemic is getting serious around the world and a lot of medical teams are getting exhausted. The cases per-day are increasing, and in Malaysia, the daily cases are very high compared as before. A lot of medical team had been working around the clock without proper rest and clearing their annual leave. It is not just few months, but is since last year. Sometimes, looking at their condition in work, I feel that they are really a Hero. In the past, soldiers risk their life to protect the country and anything they will sacrificed in the war zone. Same as now, although it s not war zone but it is also similar to it. Medical Team risk their life, get expose to the COVID-19 and anytime, they can get infected and if really unlucky, it can take away their life. They all are really hero. SALUTE THEM!

In Malaysia, Government had been implementing MCO, CMCO, EMCO, RMCO... based on how the situations are. They did encourage company to let their employee to work from home. Well, it is quite disappointing when I notice some of the superiors or company, they have the mentality that those who work from home are having vacation. Even though those work from home, did carry out their responsibilities properly and the company still able to run, YET, they are view as "having vacation at home" by their superiors or bosses. This is a totally negative mindset. 

If company allow those employees who can work from home to work from home, at least there are lesser people outside. Most of them will be at home and if they want to have their meal, they can order delivery. The office will not be over-crowded and if there is any of the staff tested COVID-19 positive, at least those who have close-contact will be minimized. It had been years....... and everyone are aware that this COVID-19 is so dangerous. However, some companies, those who are holding high position, they still cannot accept the culture of work from home. It is even sad that those employees are being misunderstood by their superiors/bosses that they are actually having vacation at home. 

Why they cannot put aside this kind of negative thinking and think as whole..... for the sake of the country, to minimize the possible of getting infected by COVID19? Why can't they think of the positive side of working from home? As long as the employees are still able to carry out their job as normal, why not just come out with the policy of , who can work from home to work from home? 

I met with friends, telling me that they tried to explain to their superiors about working from home to minimize the risk, however, they are so unfortunate that being view by their superiors that they are trying to find excuses not to come to work. And worst still, it had affected their evaluation and they notice that their superiors started treat them differently, ever since. Such a heart-broken situation. While some try so hard to tell out sincerely about their concern, this is the treatment that they received. Misunderstanding, Negative Impact

There are people under phobia, until they dare not to step out of the house. Some even chose to resign  in order to avoid going to their office, whereby some office have positive cases. Some have to stay strong and to protect themselves by themselves because they seriously need the monthly income. I pray to God that , God to open up those people mindset..... let them understand, those who voice out, are sincere and not because they are lazy. I pray that the world will be back to normal without COVID-19 soon or at least, able to control by the vaccine.

Steps to Prevent Fine RM10K For Violating SOP

I think recently in news and social media are flooded with news that people being fine RM10K for violating SOP. So, in my post, there are steps to prevent being fine. Sometimes, it is not that people purposely violate the SOP but maybe due to some unwanted issues at that moment. However, some are just too stubborn and purposely violate the SOP. Below are just my suggestion and sharing to prevent being FINE RM10K. It is not officially from Government or any authority agency. 


1. BRING EXTRA MASKS


Always prepare extra masks and bring along with you. Either carry along in your bag or put in your pocket. You will never know, all of the sudden, the side-band unattached from mask and your mask fall to the floor. I don't think so, it is hygiene to pick up from the floor and continue using it. 



2. PUT MASKS IN YOUR BAG/PURSE/CAR ALL OF THE TIME

It maybe all these while, we are use to not wearing mask and currently, you must wear. Sometimes, people might step out of their house without realizing that they had forgotten to wear the mask. So by putting masks in your bag/purse/car, you still have backup.


3. SCREENSHOT AFTER SCANNING MYSEJAHTERA




A lot of people after scan the MySejahtera, they will just close and keep their phone in their pocket. Have you even think, after you scan, it is 100% successfully record in the "history" or in the system? There bug in apps. Even normal apps that we are using, often there are issues with it. So, it will be safer, to SCREENSHOT once after you scan and the details of your log in shown. Who knows, all of the sudden, the authority came for spot-check and your apps have bug, then no report found? At least you have the proof in the screenshot. 


4. AVOID CHOOSING TO WRITE DOWN NAME


Not everyone own smartphone but it would be preferable to own a smartphone for the usage to scan MySejahtera. When given the choice to write down, not everyone can write alphabets by alphabets nicely like it was type by keyboard. We are not sure whether the handwriting is it really visible. Different people have different judgment. It's better to get a phone through installment payment than being fine RM10K. Moreover, who knows later someone tear off that page and your name is missing. 


5. BRING STRAW TO DRINK YOUR WATER


Put a straw in your water bottle, not necessary to be the same as the above. At least when you are feeling hot after walking outside and is thirsty, you can drink the water through the straw. Wear the mask and just sip the straw below and drink. Although now in Malaysia is having campaign --> "STRAWLESS" but in this current situation, we can choose either one. Just imagine, you just want to drink your bottle, then you pull your mask down and drink, not confirmed whether allow. Then you try to explain, not sure whether your explanation will be accepted or not. So better to prevent before it happens.


6. TAKE THIS MOMENT TO STOP SMOKING

Take this time to stop smoking. There are people want to smoke a cigarette because addicted to it but whenever they want to smoke, for sure got to pull the mask down. So, it will be very risky and will get fine in case caught not wearing mask in the public. In a shopping complex, you are not allow to smoke, so toilet is not a right place too. Unless, smokers have to enter an open air cafe that allow smoking, spend money for a drink to get a proper place to smoke. Well, better to save more money during this pandemic and all the best to smokers to try your best to stop smoking. 


7. AVOID ENTERING PREMISES THAT DID NOT FOLLLOW SOP

It is better not to enter premises or restaurant/cafe that are not following SOP. If you feel that those seats are not arrange with the 1meter distance, better not to enter. If being caught, the owner will get fine. Then for customers? Well, not sure whether will get fine too or not for not following SOP - Social Distancing. After all, we got the choice to choose to follow SOP and not to blindly follow those who do not follow SOP. 


8. WEAR YOUR MASK ONCE GET OFF FROM YOUR CHAIR

We may thought that, just taking those sauce from the other table is a short time while dinning and will not wear mask once got off from chair or maybe enter the toilet in the restaurant/cafe which is just besides. Better to keep wearing your mask once you got off from your chair. This is to avoid being fine or being said that you are not wearing mask in the public. You though that it is just a while and nearby but not for other. While you are sitting on your dinning table, you have having your meal and it is okay to take of your mask. (It is stupid and idiot if someone tell you that to eat also put on mask. With mask on, how to put food in the mouth?). Anyway, better to take-away and eat peacefully at home or in your own car. 


9. ALWAYS GET UPDATED WITH NEWS AND CURRENT CHANGES OF SOP
 
Read and listen to news everyday. No choice as from time to time there are new SOP. Even there are times, I, myself got mixed up with the SOP. 


10. WEAR MASK ONCE STEP OUR FROM YOUR GATE

Wear your mask even if you step out from your gate. Those who are staying in housing area, landed property, most of them, their rubbish bin will be at outside. Some like to deco outside their house with few pots of nice gardening (the area before entering the main gate). Whatever it is, that area is consider as common area and public. So put on your mask and don't think that is in front of your house and it's nothing wrong. 


11. AVOID GATHER AND CHATTING

All these while, we have friendly neighbors too. During evening, we used to chat with each other outside of the house, especially those landed property, housing area (Taman-Taman). In this current pandemic, we need to practice social distancing. So avoid gather outside and stay too close and chat. Better to just chat through online. A lot of apps could be used... WhatsApp, WeChat.. 


12 DARE TO TELL OFF THOSE WHO VIOLATE SOP

Shop owners have to be dared enough to tell off and chase away those who refused to follow SOP. Some customers might looks fierce or violence. It is better to worry of being SLAP with FINE than being SLAP by the CUSTOMER. If that Stubborn Idiot Customer dares to slap the shop owners that don't allow them in , then, shop owners have to report to the authority. Hope that public will stand together if some stubborn customers gone violence and hit those shop owners.  





Whatever it is, always follow SOP. If you do not want to be caught RM10K fine, follow the SOP and be smart enough once you step out of the house. If not, Stay at Home to avoid problems. Hopefully, companies allows their employees to Work from Home so they do not need to go out too often. 

Anyone who have any suggestions, do share at below comment.

A LEADER SHOULD ALSO KNOW HOW TO DISCIPLINE THEIR FOLLOWERS

All these while, I though that Children who are disruptive in classroom, they need to be disciplined by the teachers in order to create a positive learning environment. Unfortunately, as I grown up, I notice that some adults need to be discipline as well. Even though as an Adult, should be mature enough to act professionally , whether in work or in community, but somehow a lot of people over-estimated the EQ of an Adult.

In case in an environment without law, how would the world would be? Or with law and without proper enforcement? In school , we call it as creating positive learning environment, but in Adult life is about "Creating Positive Social Environment", "Creating Positive Family Environment", "Creating Positive Working Environment", what else? Some adult are excellent in bring negative elements to everywhere they go and it will be spread around. Just like COVID19, there is no limit where it will go and who they will be infected.

There are certain types of leaders in an organization who failed to discipline their subordinates that had cause trouble and bringing in lots of negative impact to the departments or organization which had caused Negative Environment in Workplace. This kind of leaders had misunderstood what is the true meaning of Humanistic. They try to be a leader that is very "considerate". Unfortunately in a wrong way.

Moreover, they had wrong concept about what is the actual meaning of Rapport Building. They though that by just "respecting" what their subordinate behavior is and let them do whatever they want as long as they complete their work, it will be alright. This kind of misconception had caused a lot of negative elements happening in the whole department. 

As a leader/Managerial Level, usually they have years of working experiences. By just having experience in work will not make them as a good leader. They are nothing different than just an efficient and experienced employee. Holding a position as Manager and above, they should have the knowledge of what their job scope. Besides, leading the team or department to achieve the organization goals, they are responsible to manage their subordinates. 

In a working environment, not every moment that it is positive, teamwork , efficient and high productivity. There are a lot of behavior and mindset issues such as jealousy, backstab, argument and quarrel. As in Managerial Level, they should be clear with the pathway , how they become Manager and above. A lot of them act as if they are politicians and need the votes of their subordinates in order to secure in their position (protect their rice bowl). This kind of mindset is totally wrong because they will fail in managing their subordinate, especially  there are crisis about teamwork in between your subordinates will happen. 

This kind of managerial / leadership style, whenever their subordinates quarrel or backstab anyone, they just pretend to be nothing or just imaging that they ignore. Just like the 3 monkeys (one close the eyes, one close the mouth and one close the ears). So the subordinates that love to cause havoc, will continue to do so because there is no action taken against them to discipline them. The victims will be continues to be disturb by this kind of disruptive staff.

The overly disruptive staff, then will caused the organization unable to run smoothly due to too many of office politics. Other than that, this kind of leader will sooner or later cause those victims and 3rd party to lose respect towards them. Sometimes, it is may be good to not get involve in an argument but if you are a leader, be responsible with the position given to you. The leader should know that pro-long of disruptive behavior of a staff will cause problem to the organization. It will also affect the productivity and efficiency of the organization. An organization hire staff to work and be professional and not hiring staff to play office politics and cause havoc in the organization. 

As in Managerial Level, should be afraid to discipline your staff. If your staff go against you, there are hierarchy in the organization. After all, they have to follow your instruction. Moreover, your managerial level is promoted by the company and is not through election and voted by your subordinates. if this kind of leader couldn't discipline their followers, more and more those with positive attitude will resign and leave the company. Then what was leave are those disruptive behavioral staff. 

Perangai insan yang begitu buruk, jika tiada tindakan diambil, maka ia akan mempengaruhi orang di sisinya. Ia juga boleh memburukkan nama keluarganya, organisasi , kawannya dan sesiapa yang dekat dengannya. Sebab Nila Setitik Rosak Susu Sebelanga.

TREASURING OWN STUFFS = TREASURING RELATIONSHIP

If you are single and still looking for boyfriend or girlfriend, choose those who know how to treasure their stuffs. Try to monitor them, are they always buy new things and throw others where they still could be used. 

If those like to buy new things and throw away stuff even if it still could be used or even if throw away stuff that was present by their family members of friends, most of them, they do not know how to treasure their relationship. 

When they like that things, they will buy. Then after some times, they see new things, they fall in love with the new things and buy it. Even the old one that once they like and still could be used, the waste the money and threw them away It is the same goes to the Relationship. They fall in love with you, when they see someone they think they are better, they can easily go for another one and then "throw" you away. 

If that person have the heart of knowing how to treasure stuff that they bought or present by their family/friends, it means that they are better in treasuring relationship. There are a lot of people who really treasure a relationship, those stuffs given by their family/friends, they still keep it even if it is already broken. It's because the stuffs comes with the relationship and memories. So, choosing someone, there are certain attitude that others may think it is just nothing, it does shown some hidden attitude of them that we could observe and discover.
